Installing Ruby on Rails on ubuntu server

Hi, I’m a newbie in the Rubo on Rails world. I’m trying to install
ruby on rails on a ubuntu server I have at home. The installation
seems to be successful except that I’m getting this error when I go to
public folder
http://julianomoreira.kicks-ass.org/rails/myrailsapp/public/
The installation seems to have gone fine but i’m not sure if the
installation should be on the /home/user folder. It doesn’t seem right
to me in terms of security. I’m looking for some help since I want to
give ROR a try.

Thank you very much!

All I see is the index.html page that comes with Rails. So the
installation was successful.

Yea, I think it was successful but it says “THe requested URL
properties was not found.” What does that mean?

You shouldn’t be going to the public folder in your browser. If Rails
is being served properly, just going to /rails/myrailsapp should get you
the application.

Unfortunately, you gave no details about how you tried to install Rails,
so we can’t help you. Please give more information on what you did if
you want help.

Thank you very much!
